Though we were pleased to hear that the Govern ment offered Mr. IlknvEY a Consulship in the United States, we are not sorry that it has been declined ; for we consider that the experience and talents of the Hon. Mem ber for Southwark might be far more usefully engaged in some appropriate Political Station at home. In the debates on the Reform Bill, when Sir ROBERT PEEL'S sagacity was sharpened by a desire to find fault— an excellent whetstone for dull faculties—he pointed out several times that the consequences of establishing the ten pound qualification as one uniform test of electoral capacity would be to excite the discontent and the animosity of all whom it did not embrace. His observations have been fully confirmed by experience ; for every one, at all conver sant with the subject, knows that on account of being ex cluded from all share of the representation by the ten pound franchise, a great mass of the inhabitants of our towns express.decided and continued hostility the Reform Act. But now, when his own theory is thus verified, he pertinaciously insists on committing, with regard to the municipalities of Ireland, the very fault he reprobated in the Whigs in 1831. His error is much less excusable than their's at that time ; and the same reasons which ope rated on them in 1831 go far to exonerate them now from any blame for proposing as a test the five pound qualifica tion, which is, though not to the same extent, of an offensive and exclusive nature, like the ten pound qualification of the Tories. Then, as now, the Tories were decided ene mies to all popular rights ; and then, as now, they consti tuted a numerous and powerful party, the opinions and prejudices of which must always be taken into account. ',Chen, as now, without having recourse to revolutionary violence, which no person of the least weight is, happily, found to encourage, it was hopelessly impossible to carry on the Government in direct hostility to their views. Then, too, we had not attained the certainty which we now pus ses;, that great discontent and great evils are caused by a Tine of demarcation which admits some into the electoral body, and rigorously excludes many others ; then preju dice and custom were universally in favour of some tolerably high pecuniary qualification as a test ; and these acting on the general opinion and - being unable without revolutionary violence to carry a mea sure of Reform, more democratic in principle than the Reform Act, the Whigs were in a great measure justified for not adopting as a test a lower figure. At present the Tories are so powerful, that as Sir ROBERT PEEL says, no measure can be passed of which they thoroughly disapprove, and, as they struggle fur the 101. franchise for Irish towns, there cannot be the smallest chance of carrying, even through the House of Commons, a lower franchise than that of Si., proposed by the Ministers—there is a choice between passing no Bill at all and a more democratic fran chise ; but those who admit the propriety of passing a Bill must make up their minds to a franchise, at least as limited as that which the Whigs in deference to Tory prejudices and Tory hatred of freedom and Tory power have adopted. We are free to say, that we would rather have no Bill at all than one with an exclusive franchise, because every such measure creates some interest, and establishes some legal rights, which are become bars against further improve ment. When the Legislature has once passed an Act feelings of shame. as well as vested interests—though they be the most revolting to justice—serve to fasten it on the land. We, therefore, are in no hurry to get a Municipa law passed for Ireland, which is not such a law as th people want, and by-and-bye will have ; and those wh require such a Bill must be contented with such a co promise of popular rights as the Tories will consent to p through both Houses of Parliament. We admit that the 51. is exclusive like the 101. franchise but we contend, because the Tories, who hate all popula rights and are very strong, would successfully resist a !owe rate, that the M inisters are justified for adopting the Si., alone' we know that like the 101 . it will justly p r o duce discontedi in all it excludes. But what can we say of the sagacity of that statesman who eloquently pointed out the evil conse quence of the 10/. franchise, during the discussions on the Reform Bill, who has since seen his doctrines verified, and who now, for a vary despicable party purpose—with the view of maintaining an oppression by establishing an exclusion— insists on acting on a principle which lie knows will generate discontent and discord ? Sir RoannT PEEL may be a good leader of a party, an eloquent debater, a skilful manager of the House of Commons—but he is a most wretched statesman. The nomination for the county of Linlithgow, where a vacancy in the representation has occurred, in consequence of the resignation of the Hon. Captain HOPE, who has gone on foreign service, took place at Linlithgow on Mon day last. The candidates proposed were Mr. JOHSTON, of Straiton, on the Liberal side, and the Hon. CHAS. HOPE (a brother, we believe, of the late Member), on the Tory in terest. If we may propos tieate any thing from the proceedings in this stage of the election, we should say that Mr. JOHN sToN's success was sure. The show of bands was greatly in his favour, his cause being taken up by Reformers of all shades. But there is a latent power of Toryism in the _ county which no ordinary exertions can overcome. The .HOPE fanny are also deeply entrenched behind a battery of fictitious votes, which they will not scruple to bring to bear upon their opponents. No means will be left untried by those who have had the assurance to fill up a requisi tion to Mr. HOPE with the names of men who are the known supporters of the MELBOURNE Administration. Mr. O'CoNNELL ' S motion for the Abolition of the Female Negro Apprenticeship system, from and after the Ist of August next, is fixed for this evening, We await the result with no ordinary degree of anxiety, convinced that the rejection of a proposition so just, so humane, and so powerfully in accordance with every gentlemanly feeling, and Christianly sentiment, will fix an indelible stain, not only upon the British House of Commons, but upon every individual Member thereof, composing the majority. As the question is vet to be decided, we pray Honourable Gentlemen to reflect a little before incurring the odium of every woman, and of every individual of their own sex worthy of the name of man, in the United Kingdom. With what f aces will they return to their own families and acknow ledge to their wives, their sisters, and their daughters—for even a 'planter would not dare to boast of such an outrage against humanity—that they voted for subjecting some thousands of weak, defenceless women, many of them in a state of pregnancy, and others the mothers of large fami lies, t o be yoked in the field like beasts of burden, mashed on Li t r eadmill for a refusal to comply with the brutal lust of a ,flare-driver, and actually flogged in a state of compa rative nudity in the presence of their husbands ? We are treating this question on the grounds of humanity and manly feeling alone, because we can scarcely believe that any body of gentlemen could bring themselves seriously to contemplate it in any other form. We are likewise presuming .Lord GLENELG'S Bill —knowing as we do that it will prove , an utter failure—to have no actual existence. That we are not exaggerating the sufferings of the negro female a pprentices, we have ample evidence in the Part V. to the abolition of slavery in Jamaica THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 14, i 83,3: published in March last, by order of the House of Com mons. In the course of the inquiry, of which these papers contain the report, it was sworn by many creditable wit nesses, that the mothers of young children, being appren tices, were not suffered to provide their offspring with ne cessary food ; the driver permitting the children to starve rather than lose one quarter of an hour's toil on the part of the miserable parent. As the children are free the planters have no longer a pecuniary interest in caring the value of a rush whether they live or die ; and perhaps it would be expecting too much of human nature to dream of men, so degraded by the necessities of their position, acting from any higher or purer principle. One witness named LAWRENCE deposed as follows—we quote the identical words—" I have seen many women on the mill who had young sucking children ; the children were left in the yard when the mothers were taken to dance the mill ; they were put on the mill morning and evening, and sometimes their pain would be so great that they would shriek loud enough to be heard a great way off. * * The women who had young sucking children carried their children out to work on their backs, and were never let out of the field even if it rained ; if the Overseer was in the field he would not allow the women to give their children suck." Let every mother recollect this pic ture of negro maternal suffering, when the name of any Member who may vote against Mr. O'CoN NELL's motion of to-night is mentioned in her hearing. But perhaps the evidence of one witness may be deemed insufficient. We shall take leave, therefore, to quote a few others. A woman named LAWRENCE gave the following appalling evidence :—" I am a married woman, with a family of four children ; I was put on the treadmill morning and evening. I have never recovered from the punishment of the treadmill ; I have pains all about my body since then. The under busha had a spite against me, because I would not consent for him to form an improper intimacy with a girl in the workhouse. 1 was obliged to say that she was my daughter, to pro tect her from him. One of the boatswains wanted me to do what was wrong with him. I could not get any rest for him. I used to fret about it very much, but I never consented. I saw a whole set of women who had come in from Hiattsfield ; they were dreadfully cut upon the mill ; several of them had young children ; they were quite lame, and sometimes they would fall off the mill, and water would then be thrown over them to bring -them to. One woman was placed on the mill so big with child, and had such pains , that she c ould not bear any person to touch her. When the mothers with young sucking children went to work in the field they took their children with them. If rain came, the children got wet ; the mothers were hardly allowed to give them suck." SARAH HIGGINS, another female apprentice, deposed as follows : " I have six children alive ; three are free, and three ap prentices. Since the birth of my last child, which I have in my arms, I have been turned out with the rest of the people, and am obliged to do the same work as those who are in the s.une gang. One day 1 was rather late at work ; when I came to the place, Massa said, ' Don't you see that the sun is up ?' When the shell blew in the evening he put me in the dungeon, and kept me there till it was time to turn out to work next morning. I got nothing to eat or drink, nor would Massa allow me to go home to give anything to my children; he would not even allow me to get a little water to drink." In the now well authenticated narrative of the apprentice WILLIAMS WC find the following corroborative statement, which we give in his own words :—" Them woman that have sucking child have to tie them on them back, and to go to the field chain two together ; when it rains ever so hard they have to keep on at work, with the child tied on them backs ; when the Overseer there he don't allow them to suckle the child at all, if it cry ever so much ; him say the children free and the law don't allow no time to take care of them." These are records of womanly suffering which every man with a heart in his bosom is capable of fully appreciating ; and which the rejection of Mr. O'CONNELL'S motion must have the effect of perpetuating for two years longer. It. is idle to remind us that the Government has just passed a Bill for the abolition of female flogging. There is no re_ medy for an evil, so hateful and inveterate, but the immediate and unqualified abolition of the apprenticeship system. We have had plenty of experience as to the work ing of remedial measures in the hands of the planters. While the apprenticeship lasts there will be flogging of females, accompanied with all the disgusting brutalities al luded to in the evidence above cited. The Government must know this as well as we do. It is not possible that Lord GLENELG or Lord J. RUSSELL, or any otter member of the Cabinet,can urge the plea of such an appenticeship as we have just developed, being necessary to fit women—the mothers of large families—for the virtuous enjoyment of unres tricted liberty. Were it required to change them into fiends incarnate—to destroy in them every principle of womanly virtue—to rob them of every sentiment of mo desty and shame—to degrade them to the level of the vilest and most abandoned prostitutes—then, indeed, it would become the duty of Ministers to oppose Mr. O'CoNNEI.I.'s motion by every means in their power ; but if the contrary of all this be their intention —as we know it is—we call upon them, and their sup porters, as men of honour and as Christians, to support the motion of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, •h Some speculation might be saved, and vituperation spared, if those who are puzzled by the state of society in America, and those who abuse others for a partiality to the instil tions:of the United States, were to re collect the origin of the people there, and the abuses of authority in Europe. Mixed as the population of the United States is with the expatriated from all parts of the old world, rarely or never inclusive of those whose wealth enriches, whose virtues improve, or whose manners adorn our society, and sc a tt ere d as they are over an immense territory, amalgamating with actual savages, and in many cases becoming themselves wild men of the woods, it • ought not to excite any surprise, that the forbearance and the good breeding of the civilized States of the old world are not the characteristics of the Americans. That any other than the free republican institutions of the United States would be compatible with the peace, or even the existence of those various tribes, races, and conditions of men, may well be doubted, hut we are quite sure that none other could give them a tithe of the prosperity they now enjoy. No despotism of Europe, with its people all of one stock, and long trained to habits of the strictest obedience and most careful industry, offers any spectacle of worldly prosperity at all equal to that of the United States ; while it is not difficult to show that in any and every such despotism, the outrages against life and property are conti nually as great as in the United States. The difference is, that in Europe they are practised in the name of the reigning Power, and are not called outrages. In the United States the reigning power is the democracy ; in Russia it is the CZAR. The mob is there the Emperor. and clubs and stones are their guards and their executioners. They pull down a house, or burn a convent, which stands in their way, or thwarts their will ; be devastates a pro vince. The sovereign mob of the United States never did any thing half, or a tenth part, so atrocious as the im perial and legal extirpation of the Poles. Eves where emperors and kings commit no such horrible butchery, their ordinary means of preserving their power, the individuals they put to death for resisting their will, the taxes they levy, the armies they maintain, the functionaries they employ to support their authority, should all be weighed in the balance against the riots of the sovereigns of the United States. With all deference to some of our polished Contemporaries, we•must be permitted to doubt whether the steel clad despotism of a Louts PEILLIPE, and the thousand meshes in which he first entangles his people, and then mercilessly cuts them down if they endevour to resist and escape, be not far more cruel and' mischievous than all the riots and outrages by which the sovereign mob of the United States occasionally carry their will into effect. We do not defend the outrages of either or any Sovereign ; but we maintain that to form a just opinion of the inhabitants of the United States, they ought to be compared to the crushing tyranny of the Sovereigns of Europe, not to the orderly virtues of their well-drilled and patient people. The treatment of the man Hummap since the close of the Coroner's inquest is not at all warranted by the evi dence hitherto produced against him, and shows tba•. magistrates and policemen may commit with impunity any act of severity upon men exposed to popular indignation, however erroneously directed. After three days' investi gation before the Coroner, not the slightest evidence was brought forward to warrant his detention ; and what has accu:red since? On the faith of an anonymcu - ter. which bears all the marks of having been written for the purpose of keeping up the popular excite ment, he is arrested in bed at three o'clock in the morn ing, brought handcuffed to a police-station, then taken before a magistrate, and sent to prison for a week with out any inquiry about the authenticity of the letter. Want of time is alleged as an excuse for these hasty pro ceedings, but this evidently is no excuse at all. There was sufficient time between the delivery of the letter and the examination at Union Hall, to ascertain whether a person with the suspicious name of•'John Walter Cavendish" resided in Goswell-street. Enquiry has been made, and it turns out that no such person can be found; and then an adver tisement is put into a Morning Paper calling upon him to come forth and substantiate his statements. This is quite in keeping with the whole of the proceedings. We can -cc no good reason for such conduct, and can only come to the conclusion that this letter is the production of some unprincipled vagabond who takes delight in sporting with the feelings and sufferings of others while he can remain undiscovered. In ordinary cases an anonymous letter is totally disregarded ; yet in this instance it is made a ground for committing a man to prison on the most dreadful of all charges. Every person must reprobate the mode of life led by the prisoner, but that is no reason for refusing t o treat him with common justice. In another column will be found an account of the pro ceedings which the Church authorities of Bungay have lately adopted against these who demur to the payment of Church-rates, followed by a petition to the House of Commons, from Mr. JOHN CHILDS, who seems to be an especial mark for the ecclesiastical artillery of that re nowned parish. When it is considered that Mr. Canns, while in a weak state of health, was wantonly torn from his family, and immured in a gaol, with felons for his com panions, for a Church-rate of 17s. 6d., under the pretext that it was impossible to destrain his goods without a breach of the peace being the consequence—that repeated seizures of goods have, notwithstanding, since that period taken place without the least attempt at resistance—and that these goods have remained in the possession of the Churchwardens unsold and unaccounted for, it will hardly excite surprise that the sufferers from such arbitrary and iniquitous conduct should complain to the Legislature, and firay for an alteration in the law which sanctions or permits practices so abhorrent from the spirit of the British Con stitution. We trust that the appeal which Mr. CHILDS has male will not be male in vain; and that a Reform in what is called Ecclesiastical Law may be set about itn:nc diately. If the members of the Church of England choose to remain subject to these laws as they now exist—breath ing, as they do, the tyrannical spirit of the Church of Rome in her palmiest days—well and good. Let them be gratified in this their pious desire ; but we protest against the application of this barbarous code to those who repu diate alike the principles and practices of the Church of England. Until this Reform take place, it is mere mockery to talk of Dissenters enjoying the blessings of religious liberty. It is a fine illustration of religious liberty to throw a man into prison, because he will not support a system of worship which he believes in his conscience to be unscriptural and sinful. The instruments of these oppressive proceedings are worthy of the cause in which they are employed. Look at he conduct of this man, BUTCHER, who has just been cle- vated to the Magisterial Bench. In the very teeth of a decision of the parishioners after a poll, that certain items in the Churchwardens' accounts should be disallowed, he moves a resolution which sets that deci sion completely at defiance, and at a subsequent meeting is the mover of a Church-rate, calculated on the very same data that had beea rejected by the rate-payers. When this rate comes to be levied, the people very naturally ob ject to pay it, and here again steps in the principal actor in the piece, the mover of the rate, the redoubt able BUTCHER, and in his character of magistrate —bless the mark—issues warrants of distress against those who will not pay his rate! Will any one say that this IS a line of conduct calculated to add dignity to the Magis terial office, or to command that respect from the people without which the office is worse than useless ? Nay, is it not evident that nothing is more likely to inflame the angry passions of the multitude, ignorant and barbarous as too many of them are—thanks to our pious and well paid Clergy—and excite them to acts of violence ? do not impute to this man, whose conduct is so repre hensible, any corrupt motives. It is very possible that he may have acted from mere unreasoning impulse, or that zeal without knowledge," which is so frequently disp!ayed by the champions of the Church, when they imagine her interests are at stake ; but the consequences of his acts are the same as if they proceeded from the wont motives. It is clear that he is devoid of that discretion which should ever sit at the magistrate's right hand. What the merits are which recommended Mr. BUTCHER to the Secretary of State for the Home Department we know not ; but, sure we nre, that a heavy respo nsibilit y rest s with those who having placed untried men in a situat ion where they have the power of doing incalcula ble misch ief , do not remove them when they have been tr ied and foun d w anting in the qualific4tions most necessary to the pr o p er discharge of their functions.

The House sat to-day to hear Scotch Appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Somerset, Earl Fitzwilliam, and Lord Brougham. THE EARL OF STRATHMORE: V. SIR JOHN DEAN PAUL, AND OTHERS. The arguments in this case, which were commenced on Tuesday, were resumed to.day. The case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session in Scotland, refusing to reduce four deeds executed by the late Earl of Strathmore. The facts of the case may be shortly stated as follows :—The late John, Earl or Strath. more, who is a descended from the family of Lyon of Strathmore, whit h since the llth century has held a distinguished rank among the Nobles of Sew land, and one of whom in 137 0 , married Lady Jane Stewart, the daughter or Robert, King of Scots), succeeded, while a minor, to the family estates, which were at that period considerably burthened with incumbrances. During his minority sales were effected by his Guardians, by means of which, a great part of the property was saved, and it was afterwards increased by purchases made from the rents of the English property. The late Earl, who was 3 mon of singular disposition and who chiefly resided in London, died in 18:10, leaving an illegitimate son, to e hom he bequeathed the whole of his English property, and after whose death, four Deeds were discovered which were intended to regu late the succession to his Scotch estates. The first of those Instruments was a Deed of Entail ; the second, what is called a Deed of Nomination ; the thirst, a Trust Disposition conveying to Trustees the whole of his property, heritable and moveable in Scotland; and the fourth was a Deed, by which he named Sir John Dean Paul, an Executor and Trustee, and in addition to those he had already named. The effect of those Deeds was to debar the appellant from succeeding to the Scotch Estates, and to accumulate the rents and profits of the estates for a certain period for the purpose of having them invested in land, to be entailed by the trustees fading heirs of his own body, along with the original estates entailed by himself on the heirs of the appellant ; under these deeds the respondents entered into possession of the trust property upon the death of the late Earl of Strathmore, and continued to apply the proceeds to the purposes of the trust. In 13'26 the appellant brought his action for the reduction of the deeds, and for a declaration of his right to succeed to the estates as heir male and heir of line of his deceased brother, the late Earl. The grounds upon which the appellant sought to set aside the Deeds were, that the trust disposition, SD far as it excluded him from ever succeeding to the Strathmore estates, and directed an accumulation of the rents was illegal, and consequently that the whole of the Deed were inopera tive and invalid ; in addition to which it was contended that the Deeds were vitiated, on account of the erasures they contained. Upon the case coming on before the Court of Session, that Court declared that the Deeds were not contrary to the law of Scotland, and were consequently valid. Against that decision the present appeal was brought. Sir William Follett, Dr. Lushington, Mr. A. M'Neill, and Mr. W. Monteith appeared as counsel for the appellants; and the Attorney-Ge neral, and the Solicitor-General for Scotland, for the respondents. The latter Learned Gentleman, who has come express from Edinburgh to argue the case, has a fee of one thousand guineas. The Counsel for the appellants were heard on Tuesday ; as was al►o the Attorney-General, on behalf the respondents. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for Scotland ( Mr. Rutherford) addressed their Lordships to-day on behalf of the respondents. Sir W. FOLLETT being too ill to reply, the case was adjourned to Tuesday, VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

The Learned Gentleman said he did not appear to oppose the motion, though the affidavit upon which the rule had been granted was very loosely worded. He understood the defendant had no attorney, and therefore the words might have a fair meaning other than a I , gal one. His only difficulty was, that there was an information filed against a Custom-house officer for assisting the de fendant in the transaction, and he was very anxious to have the trial pro,eeded with ; but if one was postponed, the other must. The COURT considered the alleged ground a fair one, and that the trial ought to be postponed.—Rule absolute. HOLDEN V. ABERDEEN, The A'rTORNEN-GENERAL appeared to show cause against a rule call ing upon the defendant to show cause why an order of the Lord Chief Baron, appointing a commission to issue for examining witnesses at Sebastopol and Constantinople, should not be amended, by inserting a clause imposing the whole costs of the Co - nmission upon the defendants, unless the plaintiff joined in it, by the examination of witnesses in chief. The case arose upon a policy of insurance on the Vixen, and the defence set up was, that the assured knowingly and pre meditatedly violated the law of Russia ; that Russia had possession of Ciecassia, and had a right to make laws there; that the assured knowingly engaged in an illegal adventure, whereby the ship became forfeited, and was justly condemned. In order to make out that defence, it was necessary to obtain evidence at Constantinople and Sebastopol. The application was made, and was strongly contested. It having been granted, en application was then made, that the defendant should be compelled to pay all the costs, unless the plaintiff' joined ill isommission. The Lord Chief Baron refused the application, and he ;the Attorney-General) felt astonished when the present rule was served, for the Act which gave the Judges power to issue the commission, the Ist Wm. IV. c. 99., gave the Judge and the Court absolute powers, but it provided that it was a discretionary power as to costs to the Judge in . . the first instance, then to the Judge at the trial, and afterwards there was an appeal to the Court. The Act of Parliament being so specific on the question, surely the present application was premature, and could not he entertained. If it must be gone into on the merits, he must contend that there were no circumstances in the case which made the case different from any other, and in no other case would the defendant be called upon to pay for a defence if he were successful. The affidavits alleged that the charter party under the plaintiff had full knowledge of the illegality of the transaction, and that could only be proved at Constantinople. The evidence as to the seizure, and the legality of it, could only be obtained at Sebastopol. Sir Wm. FOLLETT, in support of the rule, said that was not an appeal from the discretion of the single Judge ; the application was made by his desire, and that appeared on the face of the order. In order to avoid the difficulty, he would treat that as a substantive applica tion. He must deny the statement that Russia claimed pos session of the whole of Circassia ; they claimed the pos. session of the one port in question. He wished the order to be amended, because he thought it was applied for for the purposes of delay, and if the terms were imposed, he thought it would not be sent out at all. It would be impossible for the plaintiff to join in the com mission, for at Sebastopol it would be impossible for them to find any one to act as their commissioner. The avowed object of the Com mission was to obtain at Sebastopol a decree from the Court of Admi. ratty which was thought to be conclusive, and that decree was to be ob. tained from a Court which, with the whole of its officers, were under the immediate control of the Government, so that it was not evidence on the merits, but in order to shut out the merits of the case. Under these circumstances he trusted their Lordships would gent the application, as at all events it would cause a delay of two years. The Court were unanimously of opinion that the rule must be dis charged. The arguments of Sir William Follett were too vague with respect to the absolute Government of Russia. Upon the difficulty of obtaining a commissioner at Sebastopol the plaintiffs might send one from Constantinople or from this cmntry. Mr. Baron ALDERSON and Mr. Baron GURNEY agreed in the decision, but thought the Court ought to have power over all costs, which they would not have if the plaintiff was obliged to send a commissioner from this country, and should fail upon the plea that evidence went to establish.

We have since been informed, that no fewer than fifteen thousand persons were conveyed to and from the station at Agecroft bridge, during the four race days; and that the transit of this great number of individuals, at a time when, especially in the evenings, there was much intoxication, was effected without the least personal injury being sustained by any one. This wa s, no doubt, owing, in a great measure to the judi cious regulations of tie Railway Company, and partly to the prompt and efficient assistance rendered by those officers of the Salford police who were stationed at this end of the line to keep order, a duty which they are stated to have very zealously dig. charged. The Bolton authorities, no less than those of Salford, directed the services of their police to be available on the occasion ; and thus, at both ends of the line, notwithstanding the great influx of passengers, confusion, and its probable result, accident, were avoided. The intro duction on the line, on Monday last, of open carriage in each train, at a lower rate of fare,--a change announced in our advertising columns, — has been productive of a considerable increase in the number of passengers during that day and yesterday; the total number averaging eight hun dred each day.--Manchester Guardian.

It appeared that the deceased had taken a tin bucket to water a mare having a foal, which she had turned over her head to keep off the rain, when a splendid corruscation, resembling a rocket, or pyramid of fire, was observed, which was instantly r'll°wed by a most tremendous clap of thunder, and the child was seen to fall. Upon going to ascertain the cause, some men found that life was extinct, deceased having been struck by the electric fluid ; the con. cussion was so great that it was: felt a considerable distance round by labourers at work, who were thrown aF iinst each other.

LORD BROUGHAM and MR. SMITE' TO BENJA MIN SMITH, Eso., N. P. DEAR Ma. B. SNIITIT,—I have seen this morning your new letter, of which I should not have taken any notice, but for your strange asser tion that Lord Howick's letter (a copy of which forms the bulk of YW own) substantiates a part of your former statement, which I hacl flatly denied. Your words are "that part of my statement with respect to Lord H. which you so flatly deny." Now this shows to what a pitch of blindness and misrepresenta tion respectable man may be carried by the influence of excited party ,°" personal feelings—perhaps still further ruffled by a sense of his °"' n conduct not having been quite what it ought to have been. It is utterl y and notoriously untrue that I ever "flatly denied" your statement, or in any way " denied" it, or said any one word which could be c onstrued into any thing like a " denial" by any person who could read what I had written with calm attention. The following, strange to say, are the ex pressions which the excited state of your feelings hare induced Y° tl t° represent as a "flat denial:"— " As for Lord H. leaving the Colonial-office, I conceive you must ha' been mistaken ; for," &c. " The fact I hal always supposed to he quite certain," &c. Now, when you coolly read this you will at once perceive that IsP° lt entirely upon probabilities, and used every precaution which the IP' guage afflnnied roe, to chew that I did Nor flatly deny, or in any ‘4'3/ deny, your statement. It appears by Lord IL's letter, that he wrote to me upon the stlt ) P Ct of the arrangement in the Emancipation Bill, and never received any answer. The probability is that I did not read his letter, which may appear the less unlikely, and perhaps the less inexcusable, when I add that at the very time in question one of my Secretaries, who i s still in oflice under the present Government, in answer to a question put in Committee of the House of Lords as to the number of letters daily .re ceived by me, swore that the number that day was PS. I think TuY respect fur Lord H. would have prevented me from allowing a n y letter of his to pass unanswered, had not the pressure of business prevented me from reading it. His Lordship refers to what passed in the House of Commons, h° l never till this moment had heard or seen a word of it. In consequence of his letter I have read the debates. I find his statement born, out by the fact, and I nate know the reason of his ec ' signing. You will 'perhaps admit, that bad I been aware of tile fact, I never could have taken the preposterous trouble of a l l uing i. the other way upon the pro3ability, as in ignorance of the fa ct I di when I last wrote to you. The perusal of the debates has further sliewn me, and it is some consolation, that if we of Lord Grey's Cabinet were all in the wr ong ' and all equally so, upon the necessity of apprenticeship, and have ° °l3 ' been undeceived by the experience of th e l as t f our y ea rs ; and i f Lord Howick is now found to have been right upon this point, even . is subject to the common lot o f h uman ity, an d is liable ta, err like the rest of 'us upon another important questie' when we erring mortals o f th e G rey C a bi net were ht for he, I perceive, is represented as always contending that the n— a rai re would not work as an indent ure d apprent i ce, an d t h at i t wou ld bo to place tins in the interm e di a t e s t a t e , w hil e we o f t t ie Cabinet T ' c' - doubted both his working and his pe ace f u l d emeanour un d e r the 3 P I- t lice system.
